    I have experimented with Taiwan and Chrismas moss. DSM in a nano 25cm tank. Didn't grind up the moss though and after a month of dry start, the moss 'roots' firmly when the tank is flooded.

    I really want to try this but would be a waste if the moss died

    Have yet to try it but will probably do so in my 2ft since I'm planning to DSM as well.

    Take a look at the link above.
    The guy ground up his moss with yoghurt plus some other stuff and "painted" it on his hardscape for his DSM
    Apparently it's called Moss Graffiti.
    Only thing to note is that it would smell funky as the yoghurt decomposes away. Interesting technique though I must say.

    It should be ok as long as you keep it moisture but do note some moss does not readily stick to a rocks. For example spiky moss.

    the grinding or blending the moss with yogurt or beer method does work on a dry surface, and after putting the green mush on the surface, with watering was known to work but in a fish water I am not sure, can give it a try.
